shares held by BCE and its affiliates, for consideration on a per share basis of, at the election of each holder of Bell Aliant Common Shares: (a)&nbsp;$31.00 in cash, subject to pro-ration, (b)&nbsp;0.6371 of a BCE Common Share, subject to
pro-ration, or (c)&nbsp;$7.75 in cash and 0.4778 of a BCE Common Share. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Concurrently with the commencement of the Common
Share Offer, BCE commenced its offer to exchange all of the issued and outstanding Prefco Preferred Shares for newly issued BCE Preferred Shares, having financial terms that are the same as those attached to the preferred shares of Prefco for which
they are being exchanged. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The acquisition by BCE of the Bell Aliant Common Shares not tendered to the Common Share Offer will
be completed by way of a Compulsory Acquisition expected to be completed on or about October&nbsp;31, 2014. In order to effect the acquisition of the remaining Prefco Preferred Shares not tendered to the Preferred Share Exchange Offer, a special
meeting of the Prefco Preferred Shareholders has been called for October&nbsp;31, 2014 to consider the amalgamation of Prefco with 9034749 Canada Limited, a newly incorporated, wholly owned subsidiary of BCE. BCE has a sufficient number of Prefco
Preferred Shares to ensure that the resolution of Prefco Preferred Shareholders approving the Prefco Amalgamation is passed at the special meeting to effect the Prefco Amalgamation. Upon completion of the Prefco Amalgamation, the outstanding Prefco
Preferred Shares will be exchanged for BCE Preferred Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of the amalgamation agreement in respect of the Prefco Amalgamation, the Prefco Amalgamation is expected to become effective on or about
October&nbsp;31, 2014. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">See the section entitled &#147;Information Regarding the Note Exchange Transaction &#150; Background

which a Bell Canada Debenture was acquired. This determination is not, however, binding on the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (&#147;<B>IRS</B>&#148;). The application of the contingent payment debt instrument rules to the Bell Canada Debentures is

in this Circular. The Note Exchange Transaction is also conditional upon, among other things, the successful completion of the Privatization prior to the Effective Date. In the event that the Privatization is not completed, the Partnership and Bell
Canada do not intend to complete the Note Exchange Transaction. The Note Exchange Resolutions authorize the Partnership, without further notice to or approval of the Bell Aliant Noteholders, to revoke the Note Exchange Resolutions at any time prior
to the Note Exchange Transaction being completed. If the Class Note Exchange Resolution is not approved, or the Partnership cancels the Class Meeting or determines not to proceed with the Class Note Exchange Transaction for any reason, the
Partnership may, at its option, proceed with one or more of the Series Note Exchange Transactions that have been approved by a Series Note Exchange Resolution in order to accommodate holders of any particular series of Series Notes that may approve
the applicable Series Note Exchange Resolution. However, the Partnership may determine not to proceed with any one or more Series Note Exchange Transactions that have been approved by a Series Note Exchange Resolution. If for any reason the Note
Exchange Transaction is not completed, the value of the Bell Aliant Notes may be adversely affected. </FONT></P>
